FAQs

At Crescent Counseling, therapy services are rooted in trauma-informed, person-centered care that is tailored to each client’s individual needs and experiences. Services include queer- and gender-affirming therapy, support for neurodivergent individuals, trauma therapy, sex and relationship therapy, identity exploration, anxiety and depression support, burnout recovery, and care for clients navigating life transitions, relationships, sexuality, kink, and polyamory. Therapeutic approaches may include Person-Centered Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Family Systems and Internal Family Systems (IFS/parts work), psychoanalytic perspectives, and minority stress-informed care, all within a compassionate, nonjudgmental, and socially conscious therapeutic space.

How do I get started?

I am currently an out-of-network provider and do not directly accept insurance plans. However, I use Mentaya to help clients access out-of-network reimbursement benefits through their insurance. Mentaya will submit superbills and claims on your behalf, which may allow you to receive potential reimbursement for therapy sessions depending on your specific insurance plan. I recommend contacting your insurance provider to ask about your out-of-network mental health benefits and reimbursement rates.

Working outside of insurance networks can also provide an added layer of privacy and protection, as it limits the amount of personal mental health information that must be shared directly with insurance companies. Because I work closely with LGBTGEQIA+ clients, neurodivergent individuals, and other marginalized communities, protecting client confidentiality and autonomy is an especially important value within my practice.

How much are your sessions?

I currently have a waitlist for sliding-scale rates, specifically for people with marginalized identities (people of the global majority/LGBTGEQIAP+/disabled folx/etc,). Offering accessible care aligns with my values as a person and as a clinician, and I’m committed to minimizing barriers to mental healthcare as much as I am able to. If this applies to you and you're interested, please reach out for more information

Do you offer reduced rates?

Will our sessions be in person, or remote?

I offer both in-person and remote therapy sessions in order to help accommodate different accessibility needs, schedules, comfort levels, and personal preferences. We can also switch between virtual and in-person sessions as needed, depending on what feels most supportive and accessible for you at the time. I do not have a preference either way — I try to offer as much autonomy and flexibility to clients as possible, so the format of therapy is entirely up to you and what works best for your life and needs.
